  • Chit Chat 200 Tarot Cards, Gala Chaos & Grocery Store Drama
    May 1 2026

    Episode 200 is here, and Jeff and Sam show up like two people who absolutely should not have a platform… yet somehow do.

    Jeff kicks things off by surviving another week of bartending, knee pain, and the existential crisis that comes from being scheduled for a double at his fun part‑time job. A surprise rainstorm frees him from manual labor and launches him straight into a six‑person “party” (read: wine‑drunk hangout) where a psychic medium proceeds to drag everyone’s souls across the carpet. Jeff’s reading? Shockingly accurate, mildly unhinged, and apparently sponsored by his dead relatives. Love that for him.

    Meanwhile, Sam gets yanked into the Kevin Guest House gala with about 12 minutes’ notice and somehow ends up at the most aggressively catered event in Buffalo history. We’re talking chicken finger sliders, mashed potato bars, gelato, Italian sandwiches, pizza logs — basically a Golden Corral fever dream but make it charity. She bids on a color analysis, loses, and immediately spirals into a rant about why it costs $450 to be told you’re a “soft autumn.”

    Together, they unpack psychic predictions, family ghosts, work chaos, Aldi jump scares, and the ongoing saga of Sam’s upcoming DC trip where she fully intends to interrogate her VP over cocktails like she’s hosting Watch What Happens Live.

    It’s messy. It’s dramatic. It’s deeply unserious.
    Welcome to Chit Chat 200 — the delusion is celebratory.

  • Chit Chat 199: Messy Margaret Stole My Soul
    Apr 24 2026

    This week’s episode is pure chaos in the best way: Toronto concerts, creepy drag queens, queer emo night, $27 Five Guys meals, and a funeral‑party bar rush all collide before we even get to the new‑job meltdown. Jeff battles chatty coworkers, Outlook disasters, and a hockey‑obsessed stranger, while Sam survives a disastrous date night, a 3 AM airport run, and the worst musical she’s ever seen. Add in Finger Lakes drama‑free bliss, book rants, Bravo betrayals, and Real Housewives of Rhode Island insanity, and you’ve got a full‑throttle catch‑up you won’t want to miss.

    Soft life dreams, hard life realities, and unhinged storytelling — welcome to Chit Chat 199.

  • Chit Chat 198: The Miles Mix‑Up & Other Mental Spirals
    Apr 17 2026

    Sam and Jeff are back with a week full of unhinged chaos. Sam realizes she’s been texting the wrong “Miles” for two months, Jeff has a full‑body bad high at movie night, and both spiral into “do we have dementia?” territory.

    We’ve got golf disasters, meat raffle victories, Dateline heartbreak, a surprise home‑cooked dinner after a massive text misunderstanding, and a bachelor‑party koozie featuring “Samantha Roxy” found next to the bed (“VIP adult entertainer… call me when you need a good time” ). It’s messy, it’s relatable, it’s Chit Chat.
